Yes, Acitve Directory-Updates are on my list since 2009. It's correct that these updates are not needed. What should I do? Remove also the last current AD update from the update-list (and also file-checker)?

Anybody any idea?

The Active Directory, created by Microsoft, is software that runs on a Microsoft server. Active Directory helps maintain the smooth performance of all users on the directory by separating all objects into three main groups. The "users group" are the people who log onto the server; the "resources group" covers printers, scanners and fax machines; and the "services group" is basically the emails sent by the users. When installing Active Directory onto Windows XP, the installation must take place under the administrator's name, otherwise specific options will not be available.

- Updated the notes for 884872. This update is problematic (thanks tomasz86). As a workaround, install it manually (don't slipstream it), after the update has been extracted, and a number of files from it replaced with newer ones. Please read the notes for more.

- Updated the notes for 2160329, 2296011, 2436673 and 2286198 to make clear why these updates have not (yet) been moved to the Obsolete List.
